Emission impossible?

When vehicle component manufacturer Britax PMG decided to source new forklifts for its Bridlington site, the company believed electric vehicles were the only option.

"The low emission levels of the N series were spot on for our needs," says Andy Wylde, Britax's logistics co-ordinator outbound. "As well as that, we were impressed by the whole look of the truck and we were particularly keen on the comfortable, ergonomic seating position."

As a leading supplier of safety equipment, such as vehiclemounted hazard warning beacons, vehicle lighting systems and mirrors, Britax was also sold on the trucks' fail-safe measures and features.

A further practical detail to consider was the restricted entrance to the Britax premises at Bridlington, but the two 1.8t LPG trucks supplied are very compact, and have had low masts fitted.
